haha u guys should stop complaining.

I have an 04 G35 Coupe, 53,000 miles, fully loaded.. NO MODS

I drive to school everyday, mostly city driving..

I got a full tank few days ago,

155 miles later, its empty..... Navi tells me im getting 10.5 miles/gallon

Im driving slow, i dont redline...

My dealership says nothing is wrong with my car, but if u ask me its f*** up..

If i drive like a maniac im lucky to get over 120miles per full tank.. One time i filled up my tank, drove like a maniac, 60 miles later i had less than half tank left...

Now someone tell me something is not wrong...

04 6MT Coupe, my fuel gauge is f-cked up on me few months now (dealer fixed twice under warranty). Have to reset the trip mileage everytime pumping gas (will fix this summer). Anyway, @ a little more than 300 miles I pump in around 14 gallons. Aren't the 04 about 17 gallons per tank?

how do you guys get 17-19 mpg? i dont drive my car hard at all anymore. should i be using different octane gas? im using 93 octane ever since i bought the car. would driving in the highway most of the time make a big difference? basically all my miles (roughly 12255 miles) have been in the highway. my navi says i get 13.1 but i have a feeling its a lot more worse. am i the only one getting 13.1 mpg?

somethings wrong man... you need to get your car checked out. MAF sensor first comes to mind, computer reset, fuel injector inspection/repair. thing is your prob not throwing any errors... so as far as infiniti dealership is concerned they'll say your within specs but 13 mpg highway is too low 20-24 is the avg for highway. dunno if i would live with a car that does 13 highway.

gl let us know if it gets fixed !

i gotta get my car in the dealer soon anyways...cause man this is weird. i get better mileage in my parents suv or my brother's car. they have a lexus rx330 and a gs300. i dont know if there's a major difference, but they get wayyyyyy better mpg. the suv gets at the most 15-17 avg in the city and around 20 in the highway. on my brother's car its almost the same i believe.

So i might have to get the maf sensor, fuel injectors checked and possible cpu reset? i remembered the last time i went to the dealer for a simple oil change and winter tire set up, they asked me if i should get my injectors checked. i hear a clicking sound again after a few weeks. it would disappear after a while, but now im thinking that might be a big problem now.. does anyone else have this problem?

Now that the computer relearned all. It seems I'm doing better then
before..for sure.. More like 19-20 per gallon

i'm surprised to find people getting ~13 mpg with the g? i get better on my 6L V8 GMC. i'm getting 22 mpg in my g with 50/50 and i don't drive slow.

I just improved my gas mileage by add NOS octane booster. I also notice that it got rid of the very slight pinging that I noticed when WOT between 1500-3000 rpms

PBA - fuel additives aren't recommended to be used with the car (as per infiniti - owners manual) please use at your own risk !
